A pet owner in Winnipeg now has to pick up his mail four kilometres away from his house because of the animal's aggressive behaviour towards letter carriers.Here are some of the descriptions from the news story:

"aggressive and threatening the letter carrier"

"unsafe for the letter carrier to deliver the mail"

"we have quite a history with this [animal]"

"it has attacked letter carriers three times"

"letter carriers have been growled at [and] stalked"

"because of its aggressive behaviour, we're not sure if it has rabies"

"when a CBC camera operator returned to get more pictures, the [animal]...bared his fangs"

Actually, it looks like someone may have simply recycled on old "pit bull" story.

A cat attack is not a joke. They have nails and teeth and use both in an attack. A bite from a cat can become seriously infected in moments, the victim can actually watch the infection spread from the bite site.

A cat attack is not a joke. A cat has teeth and claws, and uses both in an attack. A bite wound from a cat can become life-threateningly infected in an incredibly short time; the victim can see the infection spread from the bite site.

"And when the last scene of all comes, and death takes the master in its embrace, and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by his graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even to death."

About Me

In January 2002, my life was irreversibly affected by the entry of an 8-month old puppy. Because of her, I am now intimately involved in dog training, canine legislation, court cases fighting breed-specific legislation, politics, media, science, statistics, and research. I have been on television, radio, and in newspapers more than I could have imagined. I have become much more aware of discrimination and hatred in their many forms, as well as human rights, citizen's rights, and governments' constant attempts to find ways around them. This blog is dedicated to Brooklynn and Star. My name is Steve Barker and I can be contacted at blog01 @ chicobandido.com (without the spaces).
